Arcam decision


I really need to upgrade my cd player. I have the choice of several Arcam models. One is the CD73@ $700, another is a used cd93 @ $1200 and the last and most costly is the cd192 @$1600. I am stepping up from an older pioneer elite from 1996 so I know all will be a major improvement. I have a rotel amp and B&K pre w/ Snell type D's. I defer to those in the know for assistance with this decision. Thanks.

Regarding the ring DAC, the Canadian importer told me it was a price issue to drop it, mainly because the ring DAC was expensive to produce. Apparently the failure rate was very high at the manufacturing level thereby increasing the overall cost.
I have the CD72, found the CD92 fatiguing. Like the 82 with the Wolfsons, haven't heard the 93 or 192. From what I've read the difference between the latter two models is minimal.
